Books on quitting
Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a good book on quitting alcohol? And nothing by Allen Carr or Jason Vale please.
I feel like I need a good book to give me encouragement to start a serious journey to sobriety, and maybe someone I can refer back to along the way.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Some books that helped me were:
'Under the influence' by James Milam and Katherine Ketcham and 'Beyond the Influence' both of these books have a good explanation of how alcohol and addiction affects us both physically and psychologically and how to formulate a plan of recovery.
'Drinking: A love Story' by Caroline Knapp. I could really identify with her very personal story of how alcohol overtook her life.

Living Sober is really, really useful.
I also read Monkey on My Shoulder in the first month and it really helped me.

Being a nosy bugger, I read The Personal Stories first, then went back to the first chapters. (Also, if I'm honest, I need the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions alongside The Big Book to get the most out of it.) Alcoholics Anonymous : Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions
